Bollocks

[a load of books by authors which this pleb has never heard of]

What puzzles me further still is how he manages to cram all this reading
in between ukrm, "work", bikes and whatever else he gets up to (which I'm
sure I don't want to know)...

I liked to think I "enjoy a good read" but frankly I find that I don't
have time to and also wouldn't know what's good from bad, anyway.

 

Just done that. Cost $9.44 shipping though :-(

A typo,[/QUOTE]

I'd read the thread all wrong and got it arse about face. I missed
darsy's bit about consolation.

What's that got to do with anything?

"Paul Carmichael"

Blimey that's steep. I ordered quite a few CDs from amazon.com
and it worked out cheeper than buying it in the UK or amazon.co.uk.
Mind you, that was a few years back, maybe things changed, and
they were told not to poach customers?

 

See, it's working already

 

Yebbut surely Will is big enough to put you off that idea.

 

If you look at the exchange rate that's probably the same as the UK
P&P. I've often ordered stuff cheaper from amazon.com than
amazon.co.uk because of a good exchange rate.

 

it's housework, isn't it?

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"spot the german".

 

How the **** can you not have heard of J.G.Ballard? The rest, I'll
grant you, being as you are a philistine.

I mostly ukrm at "work", which is about 45 hours (including travel
time (bikes)) per week, weekend biking is usually limited to a few
hours on a Sunday morning at most. I do spend quite a lot of time in
the kitchen.

 

"darsy"

here ,,

 

find them a bit too intellectual, did you?

 

I checked the stack last night - it's "Still Air" by Ian Banks.

 

^^^^^^^

not particularly carefully - it's called "Dead Air".

Not too bad actually, certainly the best non-M book for a while.

 

I didn't mind Whit, though I didn't think it very good. "The Business"
is much worse, and "Song of Stone" is dire.
